Whether science and technology or arts and humanities deserve more attention in modern education programs and schools is a complex and controversial issues. Some people asserted that science and technology should take precedence over the latter since they are becoming more and more important to modern society, while others have an opposite opinion. In my point of view, education programs need to balance the teaching time for both of these two aspects rather than overstate the importance of any of these two. My point of view will be largely substantiated with the following discussion.
Admittedly, science and technology are becoming more and more essential in modern society as the foundation of innovation driven economy development. For example, one could hardly imagine how a great company like Microsoft or the Apple Company could survive without continuous technology innovation or upgrade to bring brand new experiences to consumers. Another example could help to substantiate my view will be the increased time and efforts for students to grasp necessary computer knowledge and skills to help them to work more efficiently in offices in future as a general trend. Meanwhile, new product based on break through technologies has been one of the key drivers that drive the growth of the revenue of a company. With the analysis stated above, therefore, there is no doubt that science and technology will be quite important in modern society.
